Saudi Arabia said she would not establish ties with Israel unless the Palestinian state was created, the cracking of the US president Donald Trump They claim that the Saudis did not require the Palestinian homeland when he was floating with the idea that the US government would take control of Gaza’s belt.
On Tuesday, Trump is at a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he wants to now take over Gaza’s belt, which was devastated by Israel-Hamas war, after Palestinians are in other countries.
“Now they will take over the gaza lane, and we will do a job with him too,” Trump said in the White House. “We will own it and be responsible for dismantling all the dangerous, unexplored bombs and other weapons in place.”
“Measure the place and get rid of the destroyed buildings, straighten it, create economic development that will provide unlimited number of jobs and accommodation for people of the area,” he said. “Do the right job. Do something different. I just can’t come back. If you come back, it will end the same way as it has been 100 years.”

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Affairs Ministry stated on Wednesday that the country rejects all attempts to move Palestinians from their homeland, emphasizing that its position towards Palestinians is not in negotiations.
The statement stated that the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman confirmed the position of the kingdom in a “clear and explicit way” that does not allow other interpretations under any conditions.
Every proposed displacement of Palestinians, an idea that Trump has suggested repeatedly from the return of duties last month, is a very sensitive thing for both Palestine and Arab countries.

Trump said January 25 If he wanted Jordan, Egypt and other Arabic nations to accept more Palestinian refugees from Gaza’s belt, enough people had enough people to “just clean” the area.
“You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean that whole thing and say,” You know, it’s over, “he said at the time.
In the midst of Israel-Hamas’ war in Gaza, Palestinians feared that they would suffer from another “nakbe”, which means a disaster in Arabic, which refers to the displacement and seizure of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians during the 1948 war at the birth of the State of Israel.

The United States have run the months of diplomacy to convince Saudi Arabia to normalize ties with Israel and recognize the country of the Middle East. But the war in Gaza, which began with Hamas’s 7th October 2023, an attack on a Jewish state, encouraged the Saudis to give up on things in the middle of Arabic Israeli offensive.
Trump wants Saudi Arabia to follow in the footsteps of countries, including the United Arab Emirates, a trade and a business center in the Middle East, and Bahrain, who signed Abraham’s agreements in 2020 and normalized ties with Israel.

Saudi Arabia, who established ties with Israel, would be the main prize for the Jewish state because the kingdom has a huge influence in the Middle East and the wider Muslim world, which is the world’s largest oil exporter.
